Thank you James! I do not think I have done the QRP ARCI events in the past but I will give this 160M one a try. Wednesday right before Thanksgiving actually works out well for me. This will be my first SO2R effort, and I will be doing some improvements to give me pushbutton receive antenna selection at both rigs.
There is also a NAQCC 160M event coming up in January: http://naqcc.info/sprint201501_160.html In the NAQCC 160M events I reliably have good solid exchanges with from upper midwest down to Texas. My west-facing pennant is a real winner to upper midwest and my K9AY pointing SW works good for Texas and Georgia etc. Sweepstakes certainly doesn't have much representation on 160M but I was very impressed by many impressive QRP station performances on 80M in both CW and SSB sweepstakes.
